Nominative Determinism

the Treasurer at St Saviour's Pimlico is called Julie Churchyard

Guardian sketch writer John Crace noted that it was a poor day for nominative determinism: Lord Pannick QC, for Gina Miller, had been the ‘epitome of calm’, while Lord Keen QC, for the Scottish government, ‘appeared almost comatose’.

I remember having to take take urgent instructions for a deathbed will for a Mrs Postumus. 

I was delighted to be acting for a young couple buying their first home: Mr Wills and Miss Convey.

I often have to refer to Sir William J Williams book on Wills as an authority. 

Currently acting for the estate of a Mr Churchyard too. 

This is all just as it should be.   

Julie Churchyard lollers.

Igor is the obvious one in our profession.

Gardener's World used to be full of them: Bob Flowerdew, Adrian Bloom, Pippa Greenwood... 

 

Back in my hazy pre-Training Contract days I did a stint in conveyancing - we had two (married) farmer clients whose surnames were Lamb and Shepherd.
